Distinguished Engineer - Identity
Position Overview
We are building a cutting-edge Platform that will transform the way our customers identify, protect and govern their data. This will revolutionize how customers secure their data by placing identity at the core – providing unparalleled visibility and control.
We are seeking a Distinguished Engineer to lead the design and development of cutting-edge enterprise security products in the areas of Identity Management, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR). This role is pivotal in driving the architecture and engineering of scalable, secure, and cloud-ready platforms that serve Fortune 500 customers across hybrid environments—spanning both cloud-native and on-premises infrastructure.
This is a senior-most technical role where innovation, hands-on leadership, and enterprise product engineering converge to solve some of the most pressing identity security challenges faced by large organizations today.
Key Responsibilities
Product & Platform Architecture
Lead the architecture and technical direction of Netwrix enterprise-grade identity security products with hybrid (cloud + on-prem) deployment models.
Architect scalable multi-tenant cloud services while supporting deployable on-prem versions for regulated customers.
Design and build advanced capabilities for identity threat detection, behavior-based anomaly detection, and response automation to combat identity-based threats.
Architect and implement PAM solutions to secure access to sensitive systems and data, including just-in-time (JIT) access, session recording, and credential vaulting.
Engineering & Innovation Leadership
Partner with product and engineering teams to translate complex customer requirements into robust, extensible software solutions.
Lead technical evaluations, architecture reviews, and platform decisions across multiple engineering squads.
Drive innovation in ITDR, including behavioral analytics, identity-based threat detection, and automated response.
Domain Expertise & Strategy
Define the technical vision and roadmap for Identity & Access Management (IAM), PAM, and ITDR product lines.
Build core components such as credential vaults, JIT access workflows, session auditing, and policy engines.
Thought Leadership & Mentorship
Mentor senior engineers and influence engineering culture across product lines.
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to executives, product leaders, and strategic customers.
Represent the company in industry forums, customer briefings, and technical communities.
Qualifications
15+ years of experience in software engineering, with 5+ years leading architecture and development of enterprise security products.
Proven expertise in building and shipping identity-related platforms: IAM, SSO, MFA, PAM, or ITDR.
Deep understanding of hybrid/cloud-native architectures and on-premise software delivery models (e.g., containers, VMs, Kubernetes operators).
Programming expertise in languages like Go, Java, C#, or Python and experience with modern CI/CD pipelines.
Familiarity with major PAM solutions (e.g., CyberArk, HashiCorp Vault, BeyondTrust) and identity providers (e.g., Okta, AD, Azure AD).
Strong hands-on experience with security protocols and identity standards: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, LDAP, Kerberos.
Experience with behavior-based threat detection, UEBA, or ITDR frameworks in enterprise environments.
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience as a Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect, or equivalent in an enterprise security or infrastructure SaaS company.
Experience building compliance-ready products (e.g., SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
Contributions to open standards or open-source identity/security frameworks.
Experience with CI/CD, policy-as-code, and DevSecOps pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
